assuming our wiki is sane and can handle namespaces, i'd go with:

OTBSLCI'm cautiously hopeful/enthusiastic about x32's prospects and a 
prefix seems like a fantastic way to bootstrap a community which could 
blueprint cheat sheets for prospective binary package maintainers 
(potentially driving adoption -- at least in my fantasies -- in the Grandma 
Zone)./LC/BS/OT

compiler wise, you do not need to specify -mx32 yourself.  the toolchain 
defaults to the x32 ABI (and all programs in there are compiled as x32).  you 
only need -mx32 if you want to do something like distcc and execute with 
toolchains that aren't targeting x32 by default.

as for what are valid flags, pretty much everything that works with your amd64 
target will work with x32.  very little is different between them.
